  1. Great magazine

    As a Montana transplant, I really enjoy the history stories that help me catch-up on my new home.

    Randy L., Billings

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine

    Randy, thank you for reading, and welcome to your new home state! Catching up on Montana's past is exactly what we hope the history stories do for readers who've chosen to live here, and Billings sits on top of a lot of it. We're glad the magazine is helping a place you picked feel like a place you know.

  2. Keeps me in touch with Montana history

    The Montana history articles-ols pictures etc.

    James A G., Red Lodge

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine

    Thank you, James, and greetings to Red Lodge. History has been close to the heart of this magazine from the start, and the old photographs are often what our writers enjoy hunting down most, since one good image can say so much about how people lived and worked here. We're glad those pages keep you connected, and there's plenty more Montana history on the way in the issues ahead.

    With a foot in both Rocky Point and Livingston, you know better than most how much Montana there is to miss when you're away. We're so glad the photographs, the stories and everything in between keep you close to it.

    Sherry L., Senoia GA

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine

    Sherry, calling Montana your "happy place" made our whole team smile. Keeping each issue fresh, with new places to see and new people to meet in the stories and the photos, is the job we wake up for, so thank you for noticing. It's a treat to know the magazine brings a little of that happy place all the way to Senoia, and we're delighted to be your go-to.

  8. Amazing, current and historical fact & fiction. I absolutely LOVE the crossword puzzles! Somewhat challenging but not “

    I love the beautiful photos, recurring authors, stories about different counties, and famous citizens, current & former. I love that you mix lifestyles, careers , and don’t get into politics too much. Your magazine brings Montana people together by sharing what we have in common and accentuating the positive about Montana people & places. Keep up the great work!!

    Linda B., Seeley Lake, MT

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine

    Linda, a crossword fan who likes a challenge is our favorite kind of reader! We're so glad the mix lands for you: the photos, the writers you've come to know, the county stories and the Montanans past and present. You put it beautifully when you said the magazine brings Montana people together around what we share. That's exactly what we hope every issue does, and it means a lot to hear it from Seeley Lake.

    This publication is a must-read for anyone considering a move to Montana or just recently transported here. It offers the best of local lore, history and what to expect along the way. And the photography inspires all to get out and explore more.

    Sue P., Bozeman, MT

    Sue, what a generous way to describe us. We hope newcomers find a bit of local lore and a feel for what makes this place special in every issue, and it's great to hear that's coming through. If the photography gets folks out exploring, even better. Thank you from all of us, and happy wandering around Bozeman.

  23. I really enjoy the “county reports.” Not as crazy about the new format for the Best of Montana competition; seems like the deck is stacked. Photography is always awe inspiring.

    David M., Seattle, WA

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine

    David, thank you! The county reports are a reader favorite, and we're glad they're one of yours. We'll make sure our photographers hear that their work still leaves you in awe. On Best of Montana, we're glad you asked, because the deck isn't stacked: readers decide every result. Nominations from readers pick the five finalists in each category, and the most votes wins. Everyone can vote once per category each day, and the voting platform screens out duplicate and automated votes. Advertising never adds, removes or changes a single vote; advertisers and non-advertisers are counted exactly the same way.

  24. Too much advertising.

    Keith B., Keizer

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine

    Thank you for reading, Keith, and for taking a moment to tell us. Ads are something we watch closely. Most magazines run around 50 percent advertising, but we hold ours to a hard limit of 35 percent, and most issues come in near 30. Those advertisers are what pay for the stories and photography in every issue, and the magazine couldn't exist without them. If there's ever anything we can help you with, we're at subscriptions@distinctlymontana.com.

    October 26, 2026

  25. ‘Distinctly” is spot on! It’s a window to the past and in some cases a memory of those bygone days.

    Enjoy articles by the Old Broke Rancher. I grew up in the same “country boy” era with relatable experiences. Also, I enjoy the Get to Know Your Counties articles. Having been born and raised in Montana, I’ve been to almost all of them. It’s fun knowing the facts and places to visit while traveling the State. It’s a nice venue for sale of Montana made products.

    Ben R., Great Falls, MT

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine

    Thank you, Ben! It sounds like the Old Broke Rancher is writing about your own growing-up years, and that's what makes his column so much fun. For someone born and raised here who's been to almost every county, Get to Know Your Counties must feel like a trip back through your own travels. We're glad the Montana-made products in our pages catch your eye too.

  27. ads ads ads

    thought the magazine would be about montana....
    instead it is nothing but ads for businesses in the state...
    disappointing....

    Bobbi, dawsonville GA

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine

    Thank you for giving us a try, Bobbi, and for being honest about your first impression. Montana is the heart of every issue, and we want it to feel that way. For a sense of the balance: most magazines run about half advertising, but we keep ours under a hard limit of 35 percent, and most issues are closer to 30. That leaves around two thirds of every issue for Montana stories and photography. The businesses that advertise with us are what make those pages possible, and we couldn't publish without them. If we can help with anything about your subscription, please reach us at subscriptions@distinctlymontana.com.

  36. Disappointing

    I don't see a what do you think of our magazine so my review goes in this section. I get a lot of magazines and I hoped that yours would be one I would enjoy with great stories, features, etc. The Fall 2026 issue is a little better but the previous ones were not good. Uninteresting articles, photos without captions describing photo, location, etc. Your price is way too expensive. I love the state, your magazine not so much, sorry.

  96. ‘Distinctly Montana’ magazine

    I think ‘DM’ is a very good magazine. I like your ads. My favorite one so far is for ‘Yellowstone Family Dental’. Another ad I thought was intriguing was the map of Montana- ‘The Treasure State’. Is ‘Confederate Gulch really a town in Montana where gold was found? I also like the articles: ‘Do Tommyknockers lurk in the Dark’? ‘East to Gold Mountain’ about Chinese miners in Montana, and ‘Get to Know a County—Toole County’. I found it very informative. I think the town of Kevin should have been named ‘Thomas’ after Thomas Kevin’s first name, not his surname. I enjoyed the Fall issue. For now, this is the only purchase I’ve made in a while from Montana. I hope I’ll make more soon.

    Elizabeth, Buffalo, NY Verified buyer

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine

    Thank you, Elizabeth! Yes, Confederate Gulch is real. Gold was found there in the 1860s and the boomtown of Diamond City grew up almost overnight. We're glad you enjoyed the Fall issue, the ads included.

  110. Ideas for you

    Good-I'd like it to be more frequent however.
    Content ideas:
    City Spotlight-do a review of a town in each issue to create awareness, promote visits, and educate the readers. Include history, things to do, places to eat, what life is like there, etc.
    For every issue, make a roster of things to do in various places that month-just send out a request to the various Chambers of commerce or other tourist information storehouses-I'm sure they'd love to sent you activities.
    Do a regular series on businesses in Montana-again, I suspect if you put out a request to the various chambers of commerce, they'd be happy to give you contributors.

    Rodric M., Hinsdale, IL Verified buyer

    Reply from Distinctly Montana Magazine
